Hotel berhampiran Andrew Haydon Park, Ottawa

I expected more from Glö than I received. I chose Glö as a ”treat” for a couple's getaway, as it was a newer hotel and appeared like it would be snazzier than the usual fare. Pros: The bathroom was very nice, and the complimentary toiletries are top notch. The rooms are very clean. The mattress was very comfortable and the TV was a decent size. Cons: The rooms are incredibly small, and while they are nicely furnished, the tiny ”couch” seat was more form than function (i.e. prettier than it was comfortable). The front desk staff seemed very new and clueless on basic hospitality essentials, like how to work the in-room television. It also took ages for a response from front desk on how to work the TV and the issue wasn't even resolved. I probably will not stay here again nor would I recommend this hotel to anyone I know, as there are so many hotels to choose from in Kanata that offer better, more knowledgeable service and better pricing.

Very clean new hotel with well planned and equipped suites. Ideal for an extended stay because of the kitchen and living area. Staff was extremely polite and efficient.

There are 2 things this hotel has going for it...the Koena Spa and Kota restaurant. Other than that, the property is tired and dated, and the staff is sp**** and unable to solve the simplest issues. I booked a weekend getaway for myself and 2 friend. We booked a suite with 2 queen beds for our stay and made reservations with Koena spa. This was a Saturday overnight stay. The room was satisfactory for our purposes however the hallways were dingy and the room doors all the way down the hallways were damaged and peeling. One of the elevators was not aligning on the floors so you had to be careful not to trip when stepping in or out. Also, the front desk staff was not super welcoming or engaging. I have stayed at several other Doubletree properties and there is usually a warm welcome (including warm cookies) and that was not the case at all at this location. The room itself was clean but dated circa early 2000s. I stayed at this hotel a decade ago when it was an independent property and the decor/furniture has not changed a bit. When we arrived back from dinner, neither tv worked in the suite. One didn't even have power. We tried to contact the front desk from the room phone several times with no answer. Finally, I went down to the desk and the desk agent had no idea what to do to help as she indicated the maintenance staff was gone for the day. She offered batteries for the remote, which was not the issue. She noted the room number and indicated someone would look at it the next day...we were only staying one night. The location is excellent due to the adjacent Koena Spa. A quick trip down the elevator and you are right there at the spa entrance. A relaxing experience spending the whole day in the hot-cold cycles. In the lobby, the Japanese fusion restaurant, Kota, is another bonus. Great food and service. The bartender was very engaging and fun and the wait staff was excellent. Delicious menu and a beautiful terrace overlooking the spa deck and sunset. Overall, the spa and restaurant balanced out the tired hotel and subpar service. If you can book a promo for $150 or less it's fine. Otherwise, I would look at an Ottawa hotel.

The Fairfield Inn was as good as you could expect for a lower-priced hotel near hockey venues. We stayed for several nights for a kid's hockey tournament. The good: Staff. While fairly short staffed (it seems that the night we checked in, there was literally one staff member who checked in, got cots, made any room changes, etc.) the staff was super pleasant and helpful. The manager even gave our group of players and parents complimentary access to a boardroom so we could have meals together and get out of our rooms a bit. So a BIG thank you to that wonderful person. Location. Easy access to ice rinks, the Senators arena, and lots of shopping and restaurant options. Not close to downtown in any way, however, so if you're there to ”see” Ottawa, this isn't the place for you. The good-enough: The rooms are fine. Large enough for our hockey family of four, but no door separating the bedroom from the rest of the room. Handy to have a fridge and microwave. Beds are comfortable enough and the rooms are generally soundproof enough. For this kind of trip, the hotel was adequate. Breakfast was fine. Lots of carbs, and it seemed like the staff were trying to throttle how much people ate by putting out refills in very small ”waves” (like, refilling the muffin basket with... 4 muffins). I would suggest making your way there early and with lots of time before departure if you know there are lots of families in the hotel, because the good stuff goes fast and isn't replenished quickly. The bad: Don't, for any reason, attempt to use a cot as an additional bed for your trip. It was basically a set of springs wrapped in a sheet (zero actual mattress padding) - no one in our group would even think about sleeping on it. We slept on the couch cushions instead (ick) and still were charged the $15 extra bed fee. The extra bedding wasn't in very good shape, also (major ick). Bring an air mattress and your own sheets if you need a bed outside of the pullout and other bed.

I loved this hotel! A little off the beaten path, but worth it due to good pricing and proximity to Tanger Outlets and the highway. I've visited twice now and will be sure to book again when needed. Pros: Rooms are a very decent size, and the hotel just opened recently as of this review, so everything is gleaming clean and new. The beds are very comfortable, and the bathrooms are lovely. Cons: The TV could be a little larger, and I'm sad that despite marketing materials to the contrary, we weren't able to connect the TV through my YouTube account as I have been able to do at other hotels, but it was a small disappointment compared to the pros. My largest concern is how quickly the right-hand elevator door closes without warning; it bashed me a good one as I was walking in , and while I can take it.and brush that off, had that been a small child they could have been seriously hurt. Please get that checked out. In summary, I will recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a clean, quiet, recently priced place to stay while visiting Kanata 😁

Location was good for my purpose. Location is always subjective your needs. Breakfast above average for an included breakfast. Coffee tea and hot chocolate was available 24/7 in the reception area. Fast check-in and checkout. Staff was friendly and helpful.

This was my first-time stay at reStays Ottawa. I booked four suites for a team business trip in April 2023 (2- and 3-night stays). Very glad to have chosen this hotel over my other go-to's! This is now my Ottawa favourite and I highly recommend it for the following reasons: - Value: Great for this calibre of amenities (spacious, new, clean, modern in-suite furnishings, well-equipped kitchen, and thoughtful provisions, terrific meeting spaces, public amenities - what a view on the 12th floor). Comfortable bedding for several nights of good sleep. - Service: Front desk staff (Josh, Mark) were very helpful with our requests. - Location: Excellent! Short walking distance to Parliament, Rideau Centre, Byward Market, etc. Whether for short or longer stays, I highly recommend this gem of a downtown Ottawa hotel.

Great location, service was a bit on and off, as staff was not always the most helpful. In any case, I'd definitely recommend over other choices nearby. I'll definitely stay again, and hope that meanwhile staff is a bit more professional.

Meh. Not bad at all, but not great either. Given everything is self-service, I would expect they would pass on more of a cost savings. The price and quality is comparable to a Super 8. A little edge for one here, a little edge for the other there - overall pretty similar value - except everything at Sonder is self-service, like an AirBnB, and zero amenities. Given this, in the future when I'm staying budget, I'll look to Super 8 or similar. For example, I was travelling with family. You can only book one room at a time. After we booked I called a central number to ask if we could have adjoining rooms. At first he said he couldn't help at all since the room allocation is done by computer. After some light encouragement he did at least get us on the same floor.

Room is clean except table space a little too small. Breakfast is good especially the hard boiled eggs which were without the shell. I love the various range of coffee provided: light, medium and strong. I took the Strong version and it tastes very good even without sugar and milk. Location is very convenient with ample parking lots. Staff are friendly and helpful
